Sunflower Sisters cover

As Amrita prepares for her sister's wedding, she naturally wants to wear the brightest colours. In spite of the unwanted 'advice' from her aunties about her complexion, Mum gives Amrita a 'sunflower-yellow' lehenga to compliment her brown skin. At the wedding, Amrita spots her best friend Kiki in the most vibrant colours too, at her own family wedding! Inspired by the joy in the colourful celebrations, the girls make a pact to always be 'sunflower sisters', sending them on a stylish journey of self-love and sisterhood, empowering dark-skinned women everywhere.
